Synopsis

One of the greatest names in science-fiction is that of John W. Campbell. Famed as the editor of Astounding Science Fiction (later Analog), John W. Campbell was earlier known for his exciting, imaginative novels of super-science. The Black Star Passes is such a book, narrating the adventures of the Earth scientists Arcot, Wade and Morey as they fight for the freedom of their planet and then for the safety of the entire solar system. For cosmic scope, daring concepts, and sweeping adventure, it has seldom been equaled. This book also contains the stories "Piracy Preferred" and "Solarite".
